Default Sinclair Microvision MTV1B

As a collector of vintage technology l've acquired one of these in new condition still boxed.

l managed to dismantle it after searching on here for a thread about these TV's

However the tiny speaker is open circuit. Has anyone got a tatty or unwanted Microvision l could have or buy?

All l need is the speaker. lt's a 16 ohm and diameter 1 1/2 inch

Even the smallest of my pocket radio collection can't donate a speaker this small.

How about one of these, looks like you have to buy 4 of them + postage, there are others but look too high with the magnet.

I think these were for some hand portable two way radio at one time.

Not sure if I have a box to put them in and postage costs , unless you are near to Blackburn some point?

Adrian

p.s. they were for a Philips PR710 radio apparently.

I've received some small speakers from member AdrianH and one has fitted perfectly even the correct impedance (16 Ohms)
Working perfectly

Thank you to all who offered help and advice. Thread can be closed.
